Diary for My Daughter

Debra Clewer

Submitted to Contest #306

NOTE: This story contains themes of grief and loss, and a mention of domestic violence. TUESDAY, 10th of June. But in life, there are no what-ifs, just what is. My beautiful Beck.

He was sure she’d love it. The last two years had been wonderful, and now he wanted to secure the relationship. Despite the weather he was content, happy, confident.
